adopting @haskell-lang-sig
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

Hi, We have discussed this in the past and the latest unwanted package-retirement is now the last straw for me, so I want to go ahead with adding @haskell-lang-sig group to all Haskell ghc-* library packages at least. See https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/10891 and https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3143 Happy New Year, Jens

ghc-9.6 for F40
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 17 Dec '23

17 Dec '23

Hi, I prepared https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Haskell_GHC_9.6_and_Stackage_22 to update rawhide to ghc-9.6, now that LTS 22 was just released. Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or ideas for improving the overall process. Cheers, Jens

ghc 9.4 Change for Fedora 39
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hi, I prepared a Self-Contained Change: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Haskell_GHC_9.4_and_Stackage_21 The timeline is quite tight but I think it is still possible to land after the mass rebuild and before the Change Checkpoint: Completion deadline testable (August 8), also overlapping with Flock. Let me know if you have any thoughts or concerns. Not planning any large packaging changes this time around, except moving some executable packages also to rpmautospec. Jens

Re: disabling Haskell i686 packages

Thanks, Florian, very good point.

Then I guess it will have to wait then. It is not that big a deal yet: though a few i686 issues are slowly starting to creep in for a few Haskell packages. Jens

disabling Haskell i686 packages
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 18 May '23

18 May '23

We have been building i386 packages for ghc and Haskell for a long time, but I think it is time to stop for Fedora 39. So as part of F39 Haskell updates, I plan to disable 32bit ix86 builds across all the packages: I doubt anyone is still using them anyway. Jens

retiring ghc-bytestring-show
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

Hi Bruno, bytestring-show no longer builds with ghc-9.2 which is the main ghc in F38+ now. So I propose it can be retired now for f38 and later (even though it could probably be fixed) - I already dropped the redundant dep from hedgewars earlier. :-) I can take care of that if you wish, just let me know, or if I don't hear from you by end of next week I will go ahead. Cheers and thanks, Jens ps All: I also retired ghc-cabal-helper and ghc-ghc-mtl today and qulogic already retired ghc-ghc-syb-utils and ghc-djinn-ghc earlier.

GHC 9.2 is now in F38 and Rawhide
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 22 Feb '23

22 Feb '23

I am pleased to announce the arrival of ghc version 9 (9.2.6) and Haskell packages based on Stackage LTS 20 versions in Rawhide and F38 <https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-7a3a4921e3>. This landed in f38 and f39 today for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Haskell_GHC_9.2_and_Stackage_20. With ghc 9.2 there are some significant performance improvements particularly for aarch64 (with its new Native Code Generator compilation times are now on par with Intel arch's) and also s390x gains a llvm backend, which also improves build times a lot. (ppc64le is now the slowest ghc arch in current Fedora). Also Haskell packages' modules are now built in parallel in Koji for further build speed ups. There are still a small handful of packages which didn't build yet, which I will be sorting in the next days (the only significant ones are the gi-gtk and dhall stacks). If you see any problems please let me know or open a bug. Jens

help needed with 2 haskell package reviews
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 16 Feb '23

16 Feb '23

Hi, I would really like these two packages added to F38: NEW ghc-constraints: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2162872 NEW ghc-base64: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2163472 both are needed by newer pandoc and a number of other packages. Can anyone please help review them? Thanks, Jens

converting Haskell packages to rpmautospec
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

Hi, I would like to convert most Haskell libraries in Fedora to use rpmautospec (ie %autorelease and %autochangelog). Going forward that would make maintenance a bit easier and avoid Mass Rebuild bumps from interfering with package refreshes etc. (Ideally we should plan to update Rawhide earlier in the release cycle, but typically I end up pushing updates around the mass rebuild for better or worse). If you are not aware the F38 mass rebuild is starting on Wed this coming week. ghc-zlib has already been using rpmautospec since F36 without any issues (and I just implemented a new 'autospec' conversion command in fbrnch). So I am thinking to push this to ghc-* rawhide branches at the beginning of next week. Though I did also currently request opting Haskell packages out of the mass rebuild, since I am working on updating to ghc 9. Note that packages with Haskell library subpackaging will need to use %autorelease -b <num> to keep their version-release from decreasing with their multiple versions. If you object to having rpmautospec used in your packages at this time (though I hope you won't, since I am also planning to make it the default in cabal-rpm), then please reply asap to opt out. Also any feedback is welcome of course. Jens

Fedora 38 GHC
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 11 Dec '22

11 Dec '22

Hi, Originally I was planning to move F38 to GHC 9.0, but good progress has been made both in the ecosystem and notably Stackage recently, so I am now seriously considering to skip 9.0 and jump straight to 9.2 for Fedora 38: I still need to check that all our packages can build with 9.2, but now that LTS is also based on 9.2 hopefully that should work. Then we will get more shiny things in F38 like Haskell GHC2021 and Arm v8 NCG, and plenty more. If it all looks good then I plan to revise https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Haskell_GHC_9.0_%26_Stackage_19 to 9.2 and LTS 20 later this month. Let me know if you have any questions and comments on this plan? Jens
